I want to walk 500 miles!

That could really happen by the end of the year.  Could this be a new goal for me?  If I divide it out by the 7 miles that I've started walking, it would take about 71.4 work out days.  In 6 1/2 months, I think this is totally doable!  I'm so glad that when my sneakers started squeaking, I decided to get a new pair.  In defense of my old sneakers, they were 11+ months old, and I have done a lot of walking, exercising, and general every day living in them.

On Friday, I went for my first ever 7 mile walk in these:

I came home from said walk to find these on my doorstep:

Excuse the *baby* belly in the background. :) 

They had their first official walk yesterday, aside from general daily wear the last couple of days.  I took the same route that I did on Friday, just minus the jogger stroller containing the short person whose belly you can see in the picture above.

I did realize that after walking yesterday, that I needed to update my ipod because I'm at a point that I need some new tunes.  And, I need a longer play list since if I am doing the 7 mile route, it takes me about 1 hour 45 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes.

Here is my new list *I'm not sure if I'll be skipping any songs until I get out there and try it out*:

1. With or Without You--U2

According to my iTunes, this is a 2.1 hour long play list. 

So, I'm on my way to 500 miles.  I've got 7 down and I'm sure there is more to come!  Have you made a new goal? 

How about you join me in this challenge?  Modify it for yourself.  Make an attainable goal to shoot for by December 31st.  Maybe it's 250 miles.  Or, maybe it's 125 miles.  If you're in...let me know!

Edited to add:  Shortest kiddo and I went for a walk *a short one* and I can say that #2 & 5 were too fast for me and #12 was too slow.  I've made it through #16 and those have been the only glitches so far.
